From Sarajevo to Jerusalem: Why Israel Should Fear the Precedent of Wartime Bosnia by Rebecca Bardach

I became increasingly aware of signs of growing extremism about ten years ago: rabbis and mayors calling upon people not to rent to Arabs, demands to exclude women from public spaces like buses and billboards. The phenomena of “price tag” anti-Arab hate crimes with their “Death to Arabs” graffiti, and the politicians manipulating ethnic fears and grievances to win power.

I knew all too well from my Bosnian friends, and from work with refugees from other conflicts, where such rhetoric and actions could take us.
